The reason
Why are we the most booked apartments all year round?
Most Cairo apartments offer a bed and a kitchen. Ours are built for the stay itself, so families, friends and business travellers choose us in every season. Good guests fill our calendar, which means we never need a guest we have doubts about.

How we protect every building
Nobody enters one of our apartments without being checked, documented and registered.
We welcome families, couples, business travellers and tourists from around the world. Every one of them goes through the same six steps.
Reviews checked before we accept
Our team reads each guest's history and the reviews other hosts wrote about them. No history or a bad record means no booking.
Passports and marriage certificates collected
We collect a passport or national ID for every guest, and a marriage certificate for every couple, before the stay begins.
Documents verified before check-in
A dedicated team member checks every document against the booking. The door code is only released once everything matches.
Registered with the police station
We send the IDs of all guests to the local police station before they check in.
Face-recognition camera at every door
A camera above each apartment door recognises faces and sends us a notification every time someone enters.
Written house rules on every booking
No visitors, no parties, a strict guest limit and quiet hours. Guests accept them before they can book.
Zero tolerance for visitors
If anyone who is not on the booking enters, we call the guest immediately and our team goes to the apartment. The guest is removed, reported to Airbnb, and loses the booking money in line with our house rules and Airbnb policy.

We will never risk anything illegal. Our 4.99 rating, our Superhost status and our registered company in Egypt took years to build, and one incident would destroy all three. Our business succeeds because of our reputation, so protecting it is our first rule.
